2013 Nissan Rogue

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA, OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NOW THIS IS HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS IF I DRIVE MY CAR FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR AT 60+ MPH, IT WILL SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING. IN ADDITION, IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE OFF RAMP, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND THE CAR JUST BARELY MOVED, ENOUGH FOR ME TO HAVE PULLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP GOING TO GET MYSELF OUT OF THE WAY. I HAD TO QUICKLY REVERSE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO REVERSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT. MY CAR IS ONLY A 2013 AND JUST BARELY OVER THE (CRAPPY) POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT NISSAN OFFERS ON THIS CAR.

AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, THE CAR WILL SUDDENTLY AND CONTINUALLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE OVER A CERTAIN SPEED EVEN WITH THE FUEL PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE THE CAR GOES INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND I COULD NOT LONGER EVEN GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT

THE TRANSMISSION CONSISTENTLY OVERHEATS (SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME THIS IS WHAT THE ISSUE IS) AND CAUSED THE CAR TO GO INTO "FAIL SAFE" MODE WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE NO POWER. I WAS TRAVELLING IN AN 75 MPH ZONE AND THE FASTEST I COULD GET TO WAS 60. TRACTOR TRAILERS WERE HAVING TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON TO MAKE IT SAFER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 6 DIFFERENT TRIPS. PER THE SVC DEPT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN ROGUE AND THE FLUID GETS TOO HOT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW IT IS IN FAIL SAFE UNTIL YOU ATTEMPT TO GIVE THE CAR MORE POWER LIKE TO PASS OR SOMETHING. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE INCEDENT IF NEEDED.

THIS 2013 NISSAN ROGUE LOST ACCELERATION COMPLETELY WHEN ON A SLIGHT HILL/INCLINE. SPEED WENT FROM 60MPH TO 30MPH IN SECONDS, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION WITH A BIG RIG TRUCK ON MY SIDE AND A LARGE VEHICLE COMING UP BEHIND. THE GAS PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESULT IN ACCELERATION. WHEN ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I HAD TO POWER DOWN VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I OPENED THE HOOD (HOPING TO COOL THE POTENTIALLY HOT ENGINE TO RESOLVE) AND RESTART. I HAD TO RESTART A COUPLE TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE BEING IN "GEAR." THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENT ON OIL CHANGES, ETC. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED BODILY HARM OR INJURY HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE WERE ON A HILL AND EVERYONE IS TRYING TO MAINTAIN MOMENTUM BEHIND ME ON A TWO LANE ROAD. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY CONCERN. SINCE THAT ISSUE, THE VEHICLE HAS NOW DONE IT APPROXIMATELY 6 MORE TIMES.

FIRST INCIDENT:WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH(NO USE OF CRUISE CONTROL) GOING UP A STEEP HILL THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR.FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOUDER AND STOP THE CAR,AFTER 15 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AND WE DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. SECOND INCIDENT:DRIVING FROM CA TO AZ FOR FAMILY WEDDING ON 04/28/2015 AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROX. 3 HOURS USING PERIODIC CRUISE CONTROL (CRUISE CONTROL NOT ON DURING INCIDENT) AND AGAIN DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 75MPH ON LEVEL GROUND ENGINE LOST POWER AND BEGAN DECELERATING QUICKLY, NOT RESPONDING TO GAS PEDAL( WHICH WAS FLOORED) ENGINE NOT REEVING AT ALL. LUCKY AGAIN TURNED ON HAZARD LIGHTS AVOIDED NEAR COLLISON PULLED OVER ON SHOULDER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED.TWENTY MINUTES LATER TURNED CAR ON AND CONTINUED TRAVELING. THIRD INCIDENT: EXACTLY THE SAME AS SECOND INCIDENT ONLY HAPPENED ON THE WAY HOME ON MAY 4TH 2015. FOURTH INCIDENT: JUNE 12 2015 WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY IN A MOUNTAINOUS REGION DRIVING AT 50MPH CAR AGAIN LOST ALL ENIGN POWER(SEE ABOVE INCIDENTS)WITH SAME RESULTS.DURING ALL INCIDENTS THE WEATHER WAS HOT TEMPERATURE WAS AT LEAST 90 DEGREES. THIS IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT WAS ADMITTED BY NISSAN FOR PREVIOUS YEARS ; HOT WEATHER, HILLS ETC CAUSING CAR TO GO TO "FAIL SAFE MODE" AND IT IS BEING REPORTED BY NISSAN CAR OWNERS PAST THE RECALL DATES OF 2010. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THE CRUISE CONTROL DROPPED OUT WHILE GOING 70MPH AND LEFT ME WITH NO CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL. IT DROPPED ABOUT 20-25MPH VERY QUICKLY AND I WAS NEARLY RUN OVER FROM BEHIND, WHICH LEFT ME QUITE SHAKEN. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL TILL HILL WAS CRESTED. THIS WAS AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HAS LEFT ME WONDERING IF I CAN EVER TRUST THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE AGAIN. THIS DEFECT HAS GOT TO BE FIXED QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. DEALER SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE BUT ARE GETTING NO HELP FROM NISSAN.

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN MAY,2013 AND AFTER A WHILE I NOTICED THAT IT WAS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE WHEN GOING AT HIGH SPEED. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AT EVERY SERVICE, AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING, OR THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. IN FEB 2015 I TOOK IT AGAIN AND ASKED THEM TO ADDRESS IT SERIOUSLY, THEY CLAIMED THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT BUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OVER FULL AND THEY FIXED THAT. THEY ALSO SAID THERE WERE SOME TUBES CRACKED AND THEY REPLACED THEM... NOW MY CAR MAKES THE NOISE A LOT MORE, IT IS NOT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS LOUD AND SCARY. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND IT HAS BEEN HARD COMMUNICATING WITH THEM AND I THINK MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND MIGHT BE A LEMON. *TR

I PULLED OUT ONTO ROUTE 125 IN PLAISTOW, NH AT A SET OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND THERE WERE CARS COMING UP QUICK BEHIND ME WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I WENT OVER THE DRAINAGE IN THE ROAD I LOST ALL POWER AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY GAS PEDAL, MY CAR WOULDN'T GO IT WAS JUST SLOWING DOWN FAST. IT WAS SCARY I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I NOTICED MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT LIT UP BLINKING. I HAVE READ MANY HORROR STORIES ABOUT SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANT REPLICATE IT SO WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT HARD BC I WAS JUST GOING ALONG WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR PRETTY MUCH ALMOST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, NO BRAKES, NOTHING. THE DEALER HAS OFFERED TO TAKE MY CAR FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO DRIVE AND GIVE ME ONE IN THE MEANTIME TO TRY AND SEE IF THEY CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS SERIOUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AND THIS WAS TO HAPPEN TO ME OR ANYONE WITH THIS CAR AGAIN. *TR
